MONMOUTH, Ill. — Wide receiver Matt Shepherd (Leesburg, Fla./Leesburg) exploded for three touchdowns in the Fighting Scots’ final regular season game and earned the Midwest Conference Performer of the Week honor.

Shepherd scored three times as the Scots pulled away for a 42-0 win over Knox in the 121st meeting between the two teams. The junior caught a game-high 14 passes for 141 yards, averaging over 10 yards per catch. His 948 receiving yards this season broke the previous high-water mark of 911 set by Evan Haffner in 2004.

For the second consecutive year, the Fighting Scots completed a 10-0 regular season, while winning their third Midwest Conference title since 2005. They will be making their second straight appearance in the NCAA Division III playoffs on Sat., Nov. 21.
